In this terrain tutorial, Tom will teach you how to build your own DIY Vietnam tabletop terrain. Many of you asked how we assembled our Mekong River table for the big 15mm game last November. (If you missed that wargame, go watch it!)
The Mekong region of Vietnam is not mountainous jungle. This is a low-lying, wet landscape of rice paddies, berms, canals, and winding rivers. Tom shows you how to make three critical components for this kind of terrain:
(1) Cheap, effective rivers
(2) Water-logged rice paddies
(3) Dense, thick foliage to line your river banks
You can apply these same methods to your own DIY tabletop terrain projects at home!
